  • How you get that magic weapon thing? i'm a knight too but I've never seen that. I'm up to this boss fight too but I've still got same armour, sword up to +6 and I got a flame resistant shield.

  • @numbertwelvefan93 You have to buy it from the npc at nexus. To get a better version of the spell you have to kill penetrator at 1-3 and give his soul to sage freke, who you're supposed to save on 3-1. To use spells equip a catalyst. And I suggest you kill yurt the silent chief to get his armor and stop him before he shows his true face and kills the npcs in the nexus, If you haven't already

  • i love dark souls mre than this but man i had trouble wit these guys more than any boss in dark souls

  • Yeah idk this boss was really easy for me too. I used the sword of searching which isn't really known for its melee abilities but I am going with an attack heavy build so that helped. I was able to withstand most of its attacks too and had the first one dead before even having to deal with the second one. In my opinion the freaking flamelurker was much tougher. Took me like 15 tries.

  • Tower Of Latria is going great for me. Fools Idol- first try. Maneater- first try. Lets see what the next boss offers

  • Ow, and i meleed him like there was no tomorrow, used no ranged attacks or other spells...

  • @LoekSijbers Nice one!

  • Oh - My - GOD! I can not believe i killed Maneater on my first try ever, just 5 minutes ago. I got lucky once by not falling off by an inch. But other than that, it wasn't hard at all! I used the Enchant Weapon spell for that little extra power. Further more i remained patient, that's key if you ask me... Man, i was freakin' scared facing these guys because of the stories i read, my heart was pumpin' like a mad man! My SL was 48 when i faced Maneater. Cheers everybody, this made my day!

  • Each interval between his attack you can use to strike

    .

    .

    Good luck Demon Slayer,

    ur gonna need it

    .

  • enter, you will need a good shield i used a purple flame shield and a Dragon longsword +5 .

    ..

    .

  • shoot and kill the first bastard behind the fog entrance, stand to the right kiss the wall and shoot. (100 arrows at least)

    .

    .

  • FInaly! . here are my tips, shoot and kill the first bastard behind the fog entrance, stand to the right kiss the wall and shoot. (100 arrows at least) . enter, you will need a good shield i used a purple flame shield and a Dragon longsword +5 . DONT ROLL OR EVEN SPRINT AROUND, you WILL FALL, stick to strafing with the shield up and down to recover endurance. . Use Warding id you have it. .
  • Hate this bitch on Ng +++

  • I think I... power-leveled a bit too much, that this boss became too easy.

    My +5 Crushing Claymore made short work of the first one (before the 2nd appeared), so much that I Evacuated back to the Nexus and had fun trying them again with my sword and spear.

    Then I decided to go overkill and finished them for good with my Dragon Bone Smasher + Curse.

    Three hits each. Three. Hits.

  • try him when u pass game...

  • I buttfucked the shit out those ManEater demons. I had Schimitar +8, Compound Short Bow +1, Dark Heater Shield +2, and Wooden Catalyst. I fucked em up wit that Fireball Spell followed by a combination of Physical and Ranged attacks.

  • this boss is beans when you have 99 full moon grasses from dupping! X D

  • im sl 79 and i CAN beat him, its just that because im so sued to rolling every single boss hit, i end up rolling off the god damn platform, lost 50k souls......

    -RAAAGEEE-

  • I can get the second guy down to half but then I start making mistakes and keep dying, I'm out of Ephemrial stones too so I'm doing it in soul form.

  • I don't give a shit what people say about this boss..

    There is NO WAY you can beat them, unless you're REALLY high level.

  • Easier or Harder than Flamelurker?

  • @Switzer2007 Much easier. For me Flamelurker was the hardest boss (I haven't fight Colossus, Astrea and Allant yet)

  • @Moooras ok good, cause I somehow managed to beat flamelurker on my first try XD. Now mind you I was SL 60 and had watched about nine youtube videos on it.

  • @Switzer2007 I was Solidier 30 lvl I guess, when I fought Flamelurker. When I fought Maneater I was on 50, so maybe that is why they were easier for me

  • you must have some bad ass armor to be able to take hits like that. I use a female wanderer and it only takes three hits for the maneater to kill me.

    Maneater doesn't like fire, but he doesn't allow you time to regenerate health. He sits on top of you, after knocking you down, and hits you again before you have a chance to do anything. Bastards.

  • 1st try! shit i fell off !!!wfgjhgkIe3ngibujn mjhg

  • These two guys barely attacked you, the 50 times I tried to kill these motherf***ers they did nothing but attack me. I used cloak, a thiefs ring, spears, Sword of searching, magic, miracles, warding, lava bow...I did everything to get this boss to be an easier fight for me but all they did was relentlessly attack me. I want to know what you did to keep them from attacking you. You should see the rest of us take these two guys on, they did a lot more than just fly around and stand next to fog.

  • Why the hell is a Maneater just walking towards the fog like an idiot!? I can't beat them because both of them just keep sending punches and tackles.

  • it looks so easy but when i try they just rush on me...

  • O-oh here she comes, watch out boy, she'll chew you up!

  • "

    This boss is kinda easy well for me

    "

    at 3:08 you don't have it that easy :P good fight and video though :D

  • @pman1902

    "

    This boss is kinda easy well for me

    "

    .

    3:08 -.- , i hate when people slap their dicks around liek it's a club but it's just a twig , especially when ti comes to

    gaming

    .

    BRAGGERS >:(

  • @fullfist, eeeeem that was exactly my point. good video btw.

  • I got a glitch where the second maneater didn't appear, I don't want to commit suicide :'( fuck

  • That was close! The Maneaters are aggressive as fuck when I play this. What the hell? They were just standing around for you to hack them up.

  • @TheRick0a has to do something with PBWT

  • way can't i enchant the dragon sword?

  • started fighting the fucker and then he splits in two, cheap basterd using your mate to fight me aswell.

  • Flamelurker x2 + Edges = this boss battle

  • Does swords work better than spears on this boss? Right now I need any help I can get...

  • @Diezel2oo8 I'd think dragon sword (it can still be enchanted, right?) cause maneater takes more damage from magic and even more from fire.

    I tried meat cleaver enchanted it was pretty good but hella risky and I failed just before I killed him. Might be worth digging but it's a bit random approach, if you're lucky you kill the bastard in like 5-6 hits, but you likely won't lol...

  • @courantdere Haha, well I managed to take him down yesterday, using only the lava bow. It was quite tricky tho, and I failed a lot too!

    Thanks for the tip anyways!

  • what starting class did you use? looks like a warrior leveled Royalty class but I could be wrong.

  • This bastard disappeared @ 20% hp... got to start all over... grrrrr...

  • I did this guy on my frist try..... I didn't think it was all that hard. In my opinion, the level getting to him is MUCH harder than the boss fight itself.

  • I beat this on my first time, and didnt get hit....of course.. I had help from some one who already beat the game. ;)

  • I must admit.. first time playing i got knocked so many times that I used the "fog glitch" on the firs one-.- just couldn't take the anger, had to do it XD

  • i beat these dudes my first try. yes, i am awesome. got owned by almost every other boss though. especially the flamelurker.

  • I'm so glad the developers decided to put that fireplace in the center of the arena. Without it, I probably would of got my ass kicked by two maneaters and not have a chance to enchant my weapons lol .

  • if you are character magic build, firestorm will kill maneaters in 1 or 2 cast, depends on your stats

  • Description translation- This boss is so easy all you need is rare and powerful items, heavy armor and a full knowledge of the best available tactics and attack patterns.

  • @BorisWatkiss the items he's using aren't exactly rare

  • So I killed the first copy and almost killed the second one till he fell off the edge and wouldn't come back up....fml

  • I hate the tower of latria. Creepiest levels ever.

  • What's funny to me is that just one of these assholes is hard, not hard enough for Demon's Souls though. That's why there's two.

  • I beat him on my second try no lie, on my first play through, I was watching Dark Souls gameplay and everybody was saying how hard he was, not trying to brag or anything but he wasn't that hard, on ng+ Old King Allant, Flamelurker, and Fools Idol were all a lot harder than Maneater.

  • luckily for my 50 full moon grass and 10 oldspice now im left with 30 full moon

  • I really hate this boss. I dread my coming encounter with him in NG+

  • What a horrible beast. Bested them on my second try, thankfully the equipment and leveling up from world 2 and 4 proved to enhance my survival.

    My only death occured when I did not pay attention, and one of them blasted me with green magic from far away before I could heal. But still, even though I won my second time, they were still a challenge and nasty bastards. Things just go all chaotic when both Maneaters gang up you.

    Burn in hell, you two pieces of fictional shenanigans ~

  • I used a bow and took advantage of a glitch that allowed me to shoot through the boss door before entering. Killed the first one then used my bow to kill the second after entering the battle. Wasn't too bad but this fight certainly is a bitch when there are too at once and the lock on camera goes CRAZY when you roll to the left or right while it is charging at you.

  • I acquired the blueblood sword with minimal stats required, hyped it up with light weapon... Went in and cut those fuckers down in 20 seconds each. :D

    I intentionally saved 3-2 and 3-3 for last so that I wouldn't have to go through all the mental torture all the other commenters here went through.

    Thanks guys! :)

  • I CANY DESTROY THAT PIECE OF SHIT!!!!

  • mmm.. reading the description, if the shield is pretty much useless in this fight im bringing the adjudicator shield, even though its on my back it will heal me =D should be pretty helpful

  • i think its bs tht they make u fight 2

  • @OfMoonlightTears i think its 2 tht they make u fight bs

  • On the wikki it said there is a way to kill the first maneater via white bow before even entering the fog >_> then its just a 1v1 boss fight =D

  • This boss fight was so annoying, If your getting frustrated just quite the game as soon as you begin to fall off and restart to get to a recent checkpoint. I know it's cheap but it saves you from getting mad from spending ages to get there only to get knocked off due to a tiny mistake.

  • My buddy and I always get pushed off when the last Maneater's health is like five hits to kill. I hate the bridge design; it cost me my ability to move on in the game.

  • I died a couple of times before i took the initiative to look on youtube for an easy way. I found it :)

  • Two tries.

    Poor blue soul got knocked out both times, but lasted enough to do some quality distracting for me ;D

    Thankyou, mysterious stranger.

  • i had no trouble with the fighting ground i just had a problem fighting 2 of em at once. i did it in 7 tries, pretty nice in my oppinion

  • what's better than a maneater? 2 maneaters :D

  • Watch out boy, it'll chew you up...

  • can someone explain white and dark soul tendancy to me and how to get it?

  • @EastDutchYGO There is World Tendency and Character Tendency. While World Tendency has events which affect a World, Character Tendency has its own risks and rewards and adds special content as well. Character tendency is roughly analogous to an 'alignment' or 'karma' for your character. Your character's tendency is independent of the world tendencies. Similarly it affects the difficulty, and at Pure White or Pure Black, adds some content to the game. Character Tendency carries over to new games.

  • @EastDutchYGO Check out the demon's souls wiki for more info.

  • the problem is that i allways fall down

  • MANEATER É O QUARTO CHEFE MAIS DIFÍCIL.

  • AAHAHAHUH this boss wouldn't be so hard if the floor wasn't 5 feet wide

  • Ahh just finished first try. every maneater was dead by 6 fireballs and i had second chance casted......still one of the hardest bosses and im glad i didnt had to melee them....

  • @loekapoes thats not fun

  • flameluker is a hot we can tell he rage quits alot

  • lol my first playthrough I summoned some random guy and me and him destroyed both of the Maneaters. Probably less then 3 minutes xD

  • noob tip for those filthy noobs who can't fight both at the same time

    BEFORE entering the gray fog, get as close as you can and you can start firing arrows at the first maneater (not fire arrows or lava bow, they knock him away), the arrows will go straight through the fog and hit him. when you've dealt with him (at least 150 arrows+, depending on bow, i recommend sticky compound long bow +5), enter the fog and deal with the second one alone, much easier

  • *knock off 1* aaaw, hahaha, that's mean :D guess i'll try again!

    *knock off 2* aaaw, come on! ok, one more try :)

    *knock off 3* AAAW, what the hell?! i'll bust yo freaking ass :(

    *knock off 4* AAAAAAWWWWW COME OOOOON!!!!! D: D: D: I SWEAR TO GOD, I'LL **** *** ****

    *knock off 5* AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAWWWW­WWWWWW, FUCK THIS,, FROM NOW ON, I'M PLAYING HELLO KITTY ISLAND ADVENTURE!!!

    *later that day, several more knockdowns later* must...kill...family...skin...­cat...eat...babies...bbllrrgGG­AAAA!

  • @jokkepokke95 lol aint that hello kitty line's from south park?? +D

  • i kill them 2 with only 2 firestorms

  • Probably the second most frustrating fight in the game after Flamelurker.

  • @Joalda1 Flamelurker was a controller breaker... especially on your first play through.

  • @Joalda1 I think Maneater is a lot harder than Flamelurker just because is a 2 on 1 fight.

  • whenever i saw boss fight in DS,i remembered Monster Hunter...cut its tail! broke its horn and wing! :)):)) demm that was good...

  • Where the hell do you get all that Full Moon Grass?

  • @Kogelvis from the spear red-eyed knights that you can get from running back a little after you go to the 1-4 archstone lol. that's where i got mine anyway. you can get around usually 9 each time you kill them, and with a big shield it's easy because i just guard against their attack and kill them in 1 or 2 hits o 3 o or with magic or arrows, attack them from behind. I guess it depends on what you are, but i used melee. oh, plus you get 6,000 souls so i guess you could farm that way too

  • @Kogelvis

    full moon grass drops all the time on later levels, especially from the knights in 1-4 (boletaria palace) and

  • The only boss of the game I HATED

  • @Iouapie the others were were easy compared to this motherfucker. especially when the second one turned up. talk about pad brea

  • @nichotshot

    He isn't hard is the thing its just his environment really 

  • @Iouapie from the looks of things it's not the boss that's gonna be a pain in the ass, just that he has the area to his advantage

  • I will say this, if you have Garl Vinland's shield, definitely use it here instead of two handing it. It protects against both his magic attacks.

  • The demon was saying, Fight against me Coward, don't hide xD

  • I have never been killed by this Boss fight. Everytime i've died is from my own stupidity diving off the edge to my death. `

  • OMG I killed the 1st one,but then the second one flew away,

    I had been waiting like a whole 20-30 minutes for him to reappear and attack me

    but he never did,and when your friend dies(a friendly phantom that you summon)is there supposed to be a blue glowing ball or what ever it is?

  • I must get this firestorm thing everyone's talking about, I hate these guys with a passion! All the other bosses so far I've defeated no problem, but these guys, it's been like a million times! And then that stupid squid demon on the stairs. -.-

  • @zAlyse1337 they are tough! i'm on my second play through and i still have had more problems with the maneaters than any other boss. i have the same strategy as re4freak but i've got less than half the health(doing it in soul form). it's a real struggle.

  • I honestly don't know what you guys are talking about... this guy wasn't hard at all... he pushed me pretty far... but i never felt in true danger of being knocked off... suprisingly you actually can shoot through the fog... i wasted like 150 arrows shooting through the portal and it put his health down by like 8 percent... Lava bow with heavy arrows... These guy aren't comparable to flamelurker...

  • @BeardedPriest I shot like 130 arrows and it killed the first one xD. Im a full on knight too, so that was a surprise

  • BS!! The friggin twin maneaters were glitching on the fog walls and pillars. This isn't a real walkthrough video, it's luck! But thanks for the tip on using the center torch as a protection barrier.

  • I consider this battle to to be only time Demon's Souls crosses the line between challenging and blatantly cheap. I am, of course, referring to all the fall kills that can happen here. In many cases, they can happen when you're already down and can't do anything to avoid being knocked over the edge.

  • @scarabmango

    Yeah, this boss battle just sucks, worst part of the game for me, 5-2 is a joke compared to this in terms of frustration.

    I think Demon Souls should have checkpoints before bosses, they could make the bosses even harder to balance it then.

  • Gotta love some Monngrass :3

  • this boss is amazingly boring it can take ages for him to stop flying

  • i died to this guy with 20,000 souls. i went back and thought "I can use shard of archstone to come back with all my hard earned souls!" then the octopus got me... fml. lmao

  • @dontemd ahaha fail i chopped him up with my meat cleaver

  • Hardest boss fight by far. Bastards.

  • Comment removed

  • Hey most people tell me to wait to kill him at lev 60 but honestly dis mourning i killed him at lev 40 ( im a noob) just use the warding spell frm tower knight and he cant hurt u.

  • Stop hiding behind that fire, fight them like a man

  • @panli19 a true player uses his surroundings to the best of his abilities ;)

  • @panli19 That is how you are supposed to fight them idiot. It keeps you from fighting like an idiot and getting knocked off.

  • @panli19 Agree

  • I guess I've leveled up too much at this point, cuz it was pretty easy.

  • 1. Kill first one through fog door

    2. Trap 2nd behind fire cauldron

    3. Shoot with arrows

  • @USBTRYHARD you cant shoot through fog. arrows get stuck.

  • @jackncoke99 On the far right you can.

  • Well this isn't so b-

    1:42

    Aw shit.

  • you see all i did was just cast firestorm a couple of times, can pretty much kill them both with 2 or 3 casts :P

  • A couple of close calls but great job either way : ) This game takes balls

  • Comment removed

  • What soullevel are you?? :) I seriously love this game, but suck big time at it, and currently im working on my getting some lvls :p

  • false king > maneater's > flamelurker > everything else ^^

  • @onemoresub4you false king is veeeery easy if you can roll and have alot of arrows

  • i always die in this boss.. they drop me down or before i even get there : Black Phantom has arrived... O.o and i dont have good bow so shooting from left side of fog doesnt help -.-

  • Use arrows on the left side of the fog, just normal arrows with white bow

  • Fu#k the secong maneather!! Killed me and no got to start al over

  • This is probably most dreaded boss fight in the whole game, yet at the same time it's also most exciting and fun; especially with blue knights helping.

  • Kind of easy? lol 3:01

  • what i did was kill the first the first maneater outside the fog with 70 arrows (compound long bow), then deal the second maneater with firestorm. 2 hits and his dead. i was freaking annoyed when he managed to knock me off 3 times off the bridge after i cast firestorm. i just wanted to finish them off very quickly without so much risk like dealing them both in melee.

  • This is the best boss video tutorial so far. All the others are either NG+, ++, +++ or co-op which doesn't really help beginners.

  • That FUCKER keeps knocking me off no matter what I do or how much I am in the middle

  • I can't imagine meeting these assholes in NG+.... died like 10 times on the first playthrough before I managed to kill them.

  • You would of found this fight much easier if you could roll at full speed.

  • F these guys! So far this was the only boss fight that felt "cheap" so far! I must have die like 6 times because they would push me off the map!

  • guys guys guys...simply use firestorm twice on these bitches and game over...it's as simple as that :P

  • these guys are a pain in my ass...

  • Easy boss really, kill the first Maneater through the fog with a bow. (Do NOT use Lava Bow, it will push him back.)

    Run in, run to the center circle, stand your ground. Dodge/roll, throw your spells. (If you're a spellcaster, or use Light Weapon/Curse Weapon/Enhance Weapon for added damage.

    I've never gotten killed in this fight, even when I ran in and just Fire Toss'd him to death, two times.

  • this boss battle is also a bit about luck so u dont get knocked off the edge and getting only one maneater on the ground at one time cuz u cant fight 2 maneaters, not even kratos can

  • @Sephiroth0232

    Just run to the circle in the center, that way you won't get knocked off, unless you're very unfortunate to stand in a wrong place, or fail to dodge/roll.

    Light armor ftw.

  • Yo dawg, I heard you like maneater, so I put a maneater in your maneater boss fight so you can fight maneater, while you fight maneater.

  • @FxckCensors

    That was retarded. I know what you were trying to copy and you functioned it up.

  • @Blackwolfdemon

    The letter 4.

  • @FxckCensors I LOL'd.. hard xD

  • @FxckCensors you sir win my internet for a week!!! XDDD

  • this fucker keeps knocking me off the edge

  • @TommyBShow same here dude..its stupidly easy but i kept getting randomly pushed back like super far by the second one and ya..

  • @zachery429 ya I got knocked off when they were almost dead and I had 2 fucking phantoms helping me, I was pissed. The I went in there by myself one try and just kicked their asses. The flayer was a bastard on the way to the boss too, that thing killed me more times then the Maneater did lol

  • @Lifendz Yay i beat this boss 1st go!! :D

    I used my Dragon LongSword +4

  • is that long sword or what?

  • I used firestorm as it came towards me...gf maneater

  • SL 70 Knight i just shot the first one from the fog (cheap, but effective) and then killed the other one like this. his attacks didn't really do much damage at all, but i almost got knocked off a couple times. makes the fight soooo much easier :)

  • i hate maneater p.s. i hate man eater

  • I'm SL 66 and I still can't beat this beast :(

  • aaaAHH i hate these guys

  • Firestorm + Meaneater = 1hit KO

  • TWO OF THEM?? FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF

  • how well does god's wrath work on these guys?

  • @mithralova

    It works poorly at best.

  • who besides me has died over 20 times?

  • my tendency on this world has gone to complete shit thanks to the pitfalls in the first level and now these bastards lol, hardest boss ive come across by a mile!

  • I beat this guy on my second try by pure luck. This god damn boss was hard! 

  • As for me, best way to kill this mother*ucker's is using Fire storm spell.
